Hello, @danilodene
You can easily delete folders using s3cmd from your PC. s3cmd is a popular cross-platform command-line tool for managing S3 and S3-compatible object stores.
You can check our tutorial for configuring s3cmd:
https://www.digitalocean.com/docs/spaces/resources/s3cmd/
Once s3cmd is configured you can use the following command to delete a folder:
s3cmd del s3://BUCKET/OBJECT
e.g
s3cmd del -r s3://sammy-test/TestFolder
If this is successfull the output should be:
delete: 's3://sammy-test/TestFolder/'
Hope this helps!

Same issue here, is this going to be fixed because I can not delete my folders.
I also have filezilla pro connected to my space, this also fails to delete folders.
I also tried s3 for windows to find it is only a trial version so removed it immediately.
Can we have a better long term solution or maybe you can just fix the issue please before we exceed the 250gb and incur additional charges for storing data we are unable to remove.
